No.147 - Big City

 

As often mentioned, an Echelon scene will start by constructing a flying craft of some kind on a gradated sky. It’s a somewhat simple procedure of overlapping shapes and gradations and graphic elements that I find appealing. They often turn out quite abstract. 

Below is an offshoot image using craft, not necessarily an Echelon image, just something further abstracted.

No.155

The newest New Echelon piece. So new it may not even be finished. (I think it is) Usually I wait awhile after I finish a work just to give it and me some breathing space before others see it. There are usually little tweaks here and there to fix or change that it see through time. Hopefully this stands the test of time. 

There is so much other work that I could have posted, and I will eventually, but this one may be the last work I make in a while. I’ve done about 30 new pieces over the summer. It’s time to get back to some other work that I have been neglecting.

This one is also in a more elongated horizontal format than all the other ones. All the old Echelon pieces are in a 3:4 ratio (the short side is 3/4 the length of the long side) and all the New Echelon pieces are in a 2:3 ratio, but this one here is about a 1:2 ratio.

Echelon Dreams

Sometimes there is an illustration that does not totally fit inside the Echelon world simply because they are too fantastic or a bit more surreal (if that’s possible) but they still seem to be connected to the Echelon world that I call them Echelon dreams. Do androids dream of electric sheep? In the next few episodes I’ll post some of these dreams.
